Tante Atie reminds me of my grandmother and of Mama Yaya ( the knowlegdge part). I was so sad when Tante Atie was refusing the card that she made for her and insisted that it was for her mother.
Also when my father passed away, and he visited me in my dreams I always slept with my grandmother that always in some type of way knew I was having a ‘bad dream’ and woke me up in time like Tante Atie did.
Tante probably isn’t book smart but she seems like she is going to be real knowlegdable on lots of other things.
